The role of partisan news and political parasocial relationships in shaping meta‐perceptions: Cross‐national evidence
Communities worldwide face growing polarization, often fueled by misperceptions. Across three studies, we investigate the relationship between partisan news media exposure and meta‐(mis)perceptions (e.g., meta‐prejudice, meta‐dehumanization) in the United States and Israel. We also examine whether this relationship is moderated by political and religious affiliation, and whether partisan news media exposure is associated with meta‐perceptions thr…
In Diversity We Trust? Examining the Effect of Political Newsroom Diversity on Media Trust, Use, and Avoidance
In an era of declining American media trust, it is crucial to examine methods for increasing trust and encouraging holistic information seeking. Accordingly, we extend scholarship assessing outcomes of journalistic transparency by examining the effects of providing consumers with a breakdown of the political diversity of journalists working for a news outlet. We conducted three experiments varying the ideological (Study 1) and partisan (Studies 2…

Red, Blue, and the Ballot: Examining the Influence of Partisan Media Use on Voter Fraud and Foreign Interference Concerns
Narcissism predicts misinformation engagement through information seeking: Evidence from a survey
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented reliance on information online, resulting in a phenomenon scholars have labeled an "infodemic." This resulted in the unabated spread of misinformation, which had severe consequences. This study investigated the psychological factors influencing belief in and engagement with COVID-19 misinformation. Utilizing survey data from the United States (N = 1005), we found that narcissism was positively as…
Perceived Victimhood and Hostility Toward Political Opponents in the US: The Moderating Role of Cross-Cutting and Like-Minded News Consumption
The perception of victimhood is becoming increasingly common in the current political climate, leading to severe consequences for intergroup relations. This mindset may be further reinforced through news consumption patterns, with differing effects depending on whether individuals consume like-minded versus cross-cutting news. In this research, we explore how perceived victimhood influences outgroup dehumanization and spite, and whether news cons…
“It’s All Fake News!”: How Perceptions of Misinformation and Disinformation Influence News Consumption Across Traditional Media, Social Media, and AI
Public trust in the news media has eroded in the United States. This study examines how perceptions of misinformation (PMI) and disinformation (PDI) affect the consumption of traditional media, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI) news, and whether this relationship is moderated by political ideology and media trust. Findings from a pre-registered experiment ( N = 637) revealed that PMI and PDI regarding traditional and social media new…
From Podcasts to Protests: Examining the Influence of Podcasts and Misinformation on Contentious Political Participation
As distrust in mainstream media rises, audiences increasingly turn toward alternative news sources. This study examines the impact of alternative non-mainstream podcast news use on contentious political participation through misinformation belief and sharing. Findings from a sample of US adults (N = 797) indicate that alternative non-mainstream podcast news use is significantly associated with misinformation belief and sharing. In addition, alter…
Understanding Cross-Platform Variability in Misinformation Engagement: Insights From Meta-Owned Platforms
The rise of misinformation on social media has been a cause for concern globally. While existing research has focused on individual characteristics that drive misinformation belief and sharing, research comparing platforms are limited. In particular, platforms owned by Meta – Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram – have been scrutinized for their role in misinformation engagement. Addressing this gap, we conducted an experiment to examine how cross-p…
When you’re a star, they let you do it”: Trump, Twitter, and moral disengagement
Since the 2008 US Presidential election, the salience of Twitter in political discourse has been apparent. Donald Trump revolutionized presidential communication through his use of Twitter by communicating to narrow audiences, which are difficult to reach with traditional communication channels. Although now back on the platform, his controversial tweets were subject to widespread scrutiny and eventually led to him being permanently banned from T…
Secondary, security threat, and sage: Eulogy effect and the framing of female politicians as political martyrs in the elite press of South Asia
How do newspapers frame female politicians, and does this framing change after a female politician's death during an election campaign? Benazir Bhutto, who served two terms as prime minister of Pakistan, was assassinated in 2007 by a terrorist group. South Asian newspapers framed her as corrupt, inefficient, and a threat to national security before her death; however, the elite press characterized her as a martyr and sage posthumously. Using qual…
